MAC address question

A MAC address is appearing in the devices connected to my Nighthawk. The address is 08:36:C9:9E:35:B3. It is a Netgear item.
I cannot locate any physical device in my home withthat address. My system is running security, with a very strong password and we are physically so far from nearest neighbors that someone else jumping on is unlikely.
How can I find out what this item is?
Is there some tool I can use to hunt for it?
Thank you in advance.

Try shutting off your Wi-Fi and see what stops connecting to the internet.
Remember, many devices have more than one MAC address. One for a 2.4 GHz radio, one for a 5 GHz radio, and one for an Ethernet port.
